Marks will be awarded as follows: up to 10% for informal demonstrations of physics knowledge and attitudes(participation) and homework/binder checks, up to 25% for laboratory reports, up to 10% for quizzes and up to 65% for tests. Copying or letting another student copy tests or laboratory work will result in a 0 on that paper and a meeting between parents and the administration. This includes copying data from your lab partner; you must copy down your own data as it is collected. Late assignments will be assessed a 20% penalty per class.
Class mark/Final exam: 80%/20%
Copies of old provincial exams with answer keys can be found on the web at:
http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/exams/search/exsection.htm or from Mr. Klaassen’s old website at:
http://churchill.vsb.bc.ca/faculty/aklaassen/physics12main.htm
Expectations:
Students must attend and fully participate in all classes. When absent, a signed note from a parent or guardian is required. Students missing tests or quizzes will receive a 0. Late students will be reported to the administration. Calculators used for games, cell phones, whiteout and mp3 players will be confiscated.
Have a one inch binder for physics and keep it organized. This handout should be at the front and all homework and notes should be kept in order with page numbers listed for binder checks. Each term, there is a maximum of 2 incomplete homework assignments for the binder check. After that each incomplete assignment will result in a 0.5% loss of marks up to 5 % per term.
Students are expected to bring their own text and supply a sturdy cover, their lab manual, a three ring binder, a large supply of paper and a scientific calculator. Graph paper can be bought at a stationary store, printed out using a table or borrowed and photocopied.
To help students help each other and to send reminders, I have a wikipage (http://physics-pages.wikispaces.com/) and a work facebook (adam klaassen teach) page. Feel free to post questions and will also give credit to students who help each other. Do not leave questions to the last minute, as you may not receive an immediate response. Students who help others in class and through posts will be awarded participation marks.
